(Verse 2 - Lead Vocal) The neighbor’s at the window and he’s banging on the wall He says, "It’s much too loud," but I don’t hear him at all ‘Cause when the brass starts stinging and the bass begins to roll There ain't a bill or burden that can touch my very soul! add a percussion-heavy breakdown section (The music drops most of the melodic instruments, leaving only the driving kick drum, a syncopated slap bass, and a thick layer of handclaps.)

(The Synthesizer "stabs" return one by one, building tension until...) (All - Shouted) TURN THE MUSIC UP! (The full groove explodes back in for the Final Chorus)(Bridge - Rhythmic Chant & Claps) (Drum break with heavy congas and handclaps on the 2 and 4) Get on up! (Get on up!) Don't you stop! (Don't you stop!) If you’re working for the man, let the funky rhythm drop!

Turn it up... Turn it up...(Lead Vocal - Final Fading Riff) Don't... let... the music... stop...(The track fades into a final, echoing conga slap and a deep, resonant bass note.)
